Ready to lose a bit of weight? Determined to make this your year to quit smoking?

Whatever goal you’d like to reach, you don’t have to do it alone. If you’re looking to make positive changes to your lifestyle, there are hundreds of venues all over Norfolk and Waveney ready to support you – and the Norfolk’s Living Well initiative will give you all the information you need to find the one that’s right for you.

The initiative, provided by NHS Norfolk and Waveney’s Public Health team, brings together services that are funded or supported by the organisation to help people lead a healthier lifestyle under the Norfolk’s Living Well banner.

It also has a designated website and helpline phone number to make it easy for residents to access services.

Services vary from weight management programmes for children to support for adults to quit smoking. Information is also available for anyone who would like to help their community or organisation to become healthier, such as teachers, healthcare workers or employers.

Lucy Macleod, Consultant in Public Health for NHS Norfolk and Waveney, said: “The NHS doesn’t just treat illness and injuries; it’s also here to help you to make healthy choices so that you can avoid some preventable illnesses and diseases in the future.

“I’m really excited about the launch of Norfolk’s Living Well. By providing a one-stop shop for our health improvement services we hope to help more people than ever to get healthier in Norfolk and Waveney.”
